I did consider acupuncture but after researching I discovered there is little scientific evidence for explicit effects, also if you do get relief it is only temporary. If you google "acupuncture risks," you'll find the list is long with some serious consequences. As stated in one of my posts I've accepted my condition. I've concluded that I'm not willing to waste any more time and energy chasing elusive treatmments with a risk of more pain. If two of my Orthopedists can't explain what's going on, it would be foolish for me to self diagnose.

Our insurance doesn't cover acupuncture, of course, but my GP told me that at best, it's effects are only temporary, like you said.
I'm at the point in my life where I've been poked and prodded and shocked multiple times, only to get no results. In other words, no direct cause can be determined, sorry.
10 years of our lives, and our time, and our money, only to get no results, and basically indifference from my neurologist, who very soon after seeing me for the last time, retired.
